Solubility test was conducted using the test solution of 100.000 mg/L prepared by stirring (150 ± 30 RPM, 20.0 ± 1.0 ˚C for 0.5, 24, and 48 hours) and ultrasonication (20 kHz, 0.5 hours). The test solution was filtered using a 0.2 μm PVDF syringe filters. Then the 100.000 mg/L nominal concentration test solution was analyzed using the HPLC analyzer.
2. Limit and range finding test (stability test)
Stability tests were conducted using the test solutions of 10.000 and 100.000 mg/L prepared by stirring (150 ± 30 RPM, 20.0 ± 1.0 ˚C, 0.5 hours). The test solutions were collected at 0 and 48 hr and filtered using 0.2 μm PVDF syringe filters. Then the test solutions were analyzed using the HPLC analyzer.
3. Definitive test
Test solutions of the control and 100.000 mg/L were collected at 0 hour and 48 hours and filtered using 0.2 μm PVDF syringe filters. Then the test solutions were analyzed using the HPLC analyzer.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- 1. Solubility test
Prior to the limit and range finding test, a solubility test was conducted to identify the solubility of the test substance in the dilution water in compliance with ‘Guidance document on aqueous-phase aquatic toxicity testing of difficult test chemicals (OECD Environmental Health and Safety Publications Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23)’.
A test solution of 100.000 mg/L was prepared by adding 0.1025 g of the test substance (purity 97.55 %) to a 1 L volumetric flask and the volume was filled up to the mark with dilution water. Then the test solution was dissolved using a stirrer (150 ± 30 RPM, 20.0 ± 1.0 ˚C for 0.5, 24 and 48 hours) and a ultrasonication (20 kHz, 0.5 hours), and filtered with a 0.2 μm PVDF membrane filter (Lot No. 5402236, Hyundai Micro, Korea) and a vacuum pump (GAST, DOA-P704-AC, IDEX Corporation USA).
In results of the solubility test, the solubility of the test substance prepared after 0.5, 24, and 48 hours stirring were 103.270, 102.856, and 98.961 mg/L, respectively, and the solubility at 0.5 hours of ultrasonication was 106.762 mg/L. Based on the solubility test, stirring (150 ± 30 RPM, 20.0 ± 1.0 ˚C, 0.5 hours) was selected as the preparation method.
2. Limit and range finding test (stability test)
A stock solution of 100.000 mg/L was prepared by adding 0.1025 g of the test substance to a 1 L volumetric flask and dilution water was added to the mark to make the total volume. Then the test substance was dissolved using a stirrer (150 ± 30 RPM, 20.0 ± 1.0 ℃, 0.5 h) and filtered with a 0.2 μm PVDF membrane filter (Lot No. 5402236, Hyundai Micro, Korea) before use. Limit and range finding tests were conducted at the nominal concentrations of 0.500, 1.000, 10.000, 50.000, and 100.000 mg/L. Each test solution was prepared by diluting the stock solution on the initiation of exposure date.
3. Definitive test
A stock solution of 100.000 mg/L was prepared by adding 0.1025 g of the test substance to a 1 L volumetric flask and dilution water was added to the mark to make the total volume. Then the test substance was dissolved using a stirrer (150 ± 30 RPM, 20.0 ± 1.0 ℃, 0.5 h) and filtered with a 0.2 μm PVDF membrane filter (Lot No. 5402236, Hyundai Micro, Korea) before use. The definitive test was conducted at the nominal concentrations of 100.000 mg/L as a limit test. Each test solution was prepared by diluting the stock solution on the initiation of exposure date.

Each test vessel was checked for immobilities and any abnormalities at 24 and 48 hr after the beginning of exposure. Those animals that were not able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test vessel were regarded as immobility. In addition to immobility, observations were made to identify any abnormal behavior or appearance.
